wordsmithery

noun ˈwərd-ˌsmith-ˌerie

: the craft of working with words; stock-in-trade of the skilled writer and editor

writer, editor, troubleshooter

I am a wordsmith with a passion for thought leadership in the areas of psychology, health, trauma, and spirituality. At this critical juncture in our history, it’s not a time for wooly thinking, or ungrounded visions. The writing used to communicate the new ideas of an emerging paradigm must adhere to a high standard of coherence and internal logic, without indulging outdated assumptions.

Mr. Ballis was one of the most informed interviewers on the topic of forgiveness whom I have ever encountered.

Justin’s acute attention to detail, his brilliance of articulation, and his masterful use of language can only be surpassed by his integrity and brilliance as a human Being. To be able to fully entrust potential with him and know it will become actualised is a confidence I never thought I would experience in the publishing process.

Justin Ballis, you were my second editor and an answer to a prayer. After writing so many drafts of the story, I couldn’t see it anymore. You brought a sensibility to the work that lifted it, synthesized and pruned, and created seamless bridges. I am deeply grateful to you for the seriousness with which you took the story and your dedication to it.

CS, Author

Justin has the ability to share my vision, and he knows how to bring simplicity to it. He truly is a Master of Truth-telling. I would recommend him to anyone seeking a conscious, careful and efficient co-creator.

Mud-streaked Bernadette, witness to the apparition of Our Lady of the Grotto, is the illogical face of faith, and she was sanctified and reviled for it. Bernadette was either holy or mad, and nothing in between.

The task is to allow God-as-us and we-as-God freedom of movement, to love radically, ceaselessly, hopelessly in the times beyond all reasonable hope.
